I really fell for NMP and thought you had lost all sanity. :rip:

 

A very strong top 5! I knew you couldn't ignore My Little Love... BIAR deserved the first place, though. :gaycat4:

good days:clap3: although not my problem does deserve that #1 spot:jonny5:

 

my little love is so beautiful

Posted

Bunny Is a Grower mmm :clap: I enjoy My Little Love but it doesn't completely start for me until she turns it into an audio therapy session. Listen!!! & SIster Ray yesss the COLLAPSE(s)!!! :jonny5::jonny5: All they know how to do is deliver except for incredibly rare cases! asijfifis at the big fakeout, yeah Not My Problem is truly one of the worst songs I heard in 2021 from an artist I enjoy so we're happy about that! Now as for the actual #1, I'm not much of an R&B gorl so the only solo SZA song I really looove is Drew Barrymore.

Listen!!! + BIAR :clap3:

Posted

oh wow didn't expect the #1 but it's deserved!!! hate her for taking so long, I really thought she'd be an aoty contender this year :rip:

Sister Ray only hit me after a few weeks for some reason but it's so good :jonny5:

My Little Love was a standout on 30 but I prefer To Be Loved :-* Bunny is nice, at least it's not soty nnnn

lemme listen to Milk cause I didn't bother with that deluxe at all tbh :rip: and I'm meant to be seeing her next year fff

love to see MagaBay so high, good choice for them as well even if I prefer Follow The Leader or The Beginning :lakitu:

Both are absolutely excellent, I think INSOMNIA has stronger melody, super charming.

Not The Feels being 7/10 when you're a LICE stan :dancehall: It's pop perfection from them, not FEEL SPECIAL level, but still. I just realized I kinda snubbed alcohol free a bit, it was fresh for them.

I really switched huh, embarrassing on my side ngl, I was dragging aespa hard ever since they debuted and for what nn

Yalla and New Love complete my top 3 from the mini for sure, but Unnatural is just traditional title track, it hits!

HTE feels like a top 10 of the year, but idk I just don't really like Billie so there is this bias..

Charger banger, but Jackie hit some soft spot deeper inside

okay I was rude to group The Feels in with those cause it's grown on me but definitely nowhere near Feel Special, great bop tho :giraffe:

I think I dragged Black Mamba as well but Next Level really made me switch instantly :jonny2:

so Billie giving us aotd didn't convince you? :monkey:

Posted (edited)

listen is a cute listen. not my fave from the album, but i do think it's up there :jamming:

 

sister ray :clap3:seems a lot of people are perched for her album, as they should be!

 

i loved Pang, but i completely forgot about bunny is a rider after a few listens :rip:

 

not super familiar with your #1 (fake-out & real :mandown:) i've probably only listened to them once each, but i know good days was v acclaimed.

Posted

i love caroline but idk why i'm not into bunny like how everyone is tho. it's just there for me :katie: 

my little love :jonny5: such a good song but i wish there's an edit without the voicemails cuz it can be quite uncomfortable to listen to :skull:

Bitch you really got me with that #1, I was ready to drag :deadbanana:

 

But your real #1 IS IT! It may or may not be extremely high on my list as well :gaycat1: Your write up on GD is 100% accurate :jonny:

 

I think I would like MLL more if there was a more friendly sounding version to play “as a single”, outside of the Album 

"Extremely high" INDEED :gaycat1: We both snapped

WHEW almost had me with there :bibliahh:

your top 2 is excellent. love both of these excellent songs and they deserve all the praise and acclaim! :clap3:

 

Good Days is collecting these top 3 entries on people's lists here, so deserved :clap3:

Sister Ray remains our underrated gem hopefully some will discover via best ofs

I need to say it's the perfect top 5 sis !

Good Days :jonny5: is one of her bests ever (I screamed at NMP :rip: )

Sister Ray is pop perfection :smitten:

Bunny :jonny5:

Listen :clap3: nice to see some love for Aly&AJ

My Little Love >>> 30 :eli: 

It really captures something from every part of 2021 and all these songs will stay with me for years ahead! :jonny2:

Nn I get what you mean, maybe 35 (or who knows what) will be more of MLLs :eli:

Love the fake out at the end dd

Good Days is a great #1 (don't know most of the rest of your top 10 so I'll make sure to give them a listen :thing: )

No way you don't! 10/9 picks often have people divided, but 8 and up is all amazing so make sure to check out!

18 hours ago, Sunderland 4ever said:

Listen sounds so good. I added it to my December playlist. :jonny:

 

My Little Love and Not My Problem in the podium. What a way to finish! :worship2:

I don't think anybody expected Aly & AJ to come back one day with this kind of greatness :clap3:

 

I hope you noticed Not My Problem was a fake #1 :keir: I wanted to troll a bit, the real #1 was in the spoiler inside!

Oh wow I didn't expect you to not click with Good Days, it sure is an rnb piece with some unique production, but it feels universally loved by all music lovers, it's just very soothing :allears: Glad you liked the list overall and I'm excited for yours to continue!

The fact she just dropped I Hate U randomly in the similar manner to Good Days when we were begging for Shirt all year, she is so annoying :rip:

It might not be mine, but it's Pitchforks :fan:

You should absolutely bother with the deluxe, cause those 5 little songs are damn good and improve the album. I'll be seeing her next year too

Both are great picks too, it's overall a cohesive album yet with many stand outs

 

It isn't Feel Special. but it's fun and does have a proper big chorus instead of a drop so! Korean version improves it too

HTE is definitely better than WWAFAWDWG, but the album felt a bit messy idk? I appreciate the variety and experimentations, the stand outs are very good, but as a whole it seems so random at parts. She will probably keep getting better and more interesting tho so we'll see in a future

Nn I guess Bunny had pretty divisive reactions, but I'm glad I love it! I think more new material should be out asap so we will see

 

DON'T come back to Not My Problem, but absolutely check Good Days again :dancehall:

No way?? Sister Ray was really such a big instant banger for me! Hopefully something else on the album clicks for you more

Bunny has people divided so it's fine, maybe it will work better in the context of the project whenever it comes

Yeah fair, Ive seen people made such edits already. These voice notes are really heavy...

I had to end with a twist :gaycat4:

Posted

your number one :clap3: king of taste mon dieu 

Posted

Wow My Little Love really connected to you huh? :clap3:

 

Quote

 This song is just a lot to take, she puts an emotional weight on a listener with those lyrics, those vocals and especially those voice notes of her son or in the outro - of her own self, breaking down, showing us her struggles. Never expected her to strip herself so much.

Agreed, didn't think she'd be so revealing!

Posted

I have to say the top 10 is kinda unexpected! 

Kiss Of Life was a bop! :katie2: Sister Ray amazing bop obviously.

My Little Love and Good Days are incredible.

 

will have to check the rest! 

also just realized there's no album list :gaycat6:

Oh I didn't realize this was the end :'( Well it was a serve, as expected! :clap3::clap3::clap3:

Yeah I just took a peek at it for the first time in months and it's not really my speed. I know it's insanely loved though :lakitu:

bunny is a rider, sister ray, my little love :jonnycat: great top 5

Posted

did not expect that number one but i'm so happy :jonny5:

 

bunny is a record of the year :1stplace:

Posted

The Aly & AJ abbreviation :bibliahh:A liadtfagltybyebyddiahveti from Lana tea. Good pick!

 

Yeah Bunny is such a grower huh! I really really like it! Wow, another Adele appearance, and with her best song :clap:

 

SISTER RAY SO HIGH YAAAAAAS whew your (and other's) teasing of her new album is getting me so excited. I know it'll be her best album. SCREAM at the Not My Problem teas. Good Days is a really good song!

Posted

Oh wait let me catch up a bit

 

Kiss Of Life, Listen!!!, Bunny Is A Rider on the top 10 YES :jonny5:

I'm still getting emotional every time I hear this song, every time I remind myself I got to witness an ABBA comeback in my lifetime, especially after years of false promises from Benny and Björn.

 

BITCH ME TOO THE FUCK!

 

Some of the songs from Voyage including DSMD are like classic ABBA songs. It's like someone leaked these songs that supposed to be a single on one of their 70's albums on 2021. It's just perfection and so did my parents think that way :jonny5:

 

Yeah i agree that My Little Love is the most emotional song Adele has ever been released so far and her humming adlibs thoughout voicenotes feels like she hugging herself when she's on her lowes point on her life and i love that :jonny5:

 

Good Days on #1 YAAASS (and honestly i'm not shocked that Not My Problem is actually a #1 on this list lmao). It's truly is a the most beautiful R&B track on 2020/2021 and it feels like she took us the the heaven while we listening to it :gaycat6:

 

Happy new year and we hope SZA actually release that DAMN ALBUM!

she could have had a huge hit with Shirt :rip:

I'll get around it at some point before the tour for sure :keir:

a lot of Twice's english lyrics are quite questionable so the Korean version probably makes it better but I've gotten used to the English now ffff

hope you're stanning aespa's new bop :fan:

Definitely check out Listen!!! or whole Aly & AJ album basically, Mercurial World might be a cute listen for you too

 

And yeah sadly I just.. didn't connect with many albums this year so it would be a struggle to come up with a solid list

Glad we agree so much :johnald: Loving your list thus far too so it's not surprise

EXACTLY :jonny5: Like Just a Notion is literally a song recorded for Arrival I believe and it fits like a glove with the rest of Voyage which was mostly recorded in past decade, insane how they managed to fully commit to their classic style!

 

You get it uhh! I was shocked when some people said the notes are annoying or even "cringe". They add so much to the song

 

Preach! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thanks for joining me, Ill be continuing to lurk on yours too :hughard:
